In addition to proper nutrition and exercise to maintain your physical condition and facial care for healthy skin, an attractive appearance also includes your hair. 

So you should not forget to care for your hair as well, so that you present an overall radiant image. Below you will find important and useful tips to help you establish a simple and effective hair care routine. 

# Start with a proper wash

To have strong and shiny hair, you should first take care of the health of your scalp. And this will be done by choosing the right and high-quality shampoo, always according to your hair type. Whether you have weak hair, oily hair, or even if you suffer from dry scalp or dandruff, there are suitable products for every case. However, you should always avoid those that contain chemical ingredients harmful to your skin and hair.

• For dry hair that is prone to frizz, look for moisturizing products that contain oils, butters, and other nourishing ingredients.
• For oily hair, look for products that contain ingredients such as tea tree oil and chamomile.
• For hair that breaks easily, look for reconstructing products that contain proteins such as collagen and keratin.

Another thing to remember is not to use very hot water, because it has the ability to remove the skin’s natural oils and cause dry scalp. And if you have taken a hot, steamy shower, try finishing with a lukewarm or cold rinse so that your hair looks healthy and shiny, not frizzy and dull when it dries.

Finally, it would be better not to wash your hair more than three times a week, unless your scalp is particularly oily. You may think you are treating dry hair by washing it more often because it lacks moisture, but in fact you are not preserving its natural oils and are leaving it dull and fragile.

# Use hair conditioner

Even if you have used shampoo with natural ingredients, frequent washing can cause you to lose some of the nourishing oils in your hair. A proper conditioner replaces the lost oils, protects and nourishes your scalp, helps hair growth, and improves the overall health of your hair. 

Applying hair conditioner two to three times a week is enough, both on the scalp and on the ends of your hair. 

# Do not rub your hair to dry it

After the proper wash, you should not skip proper drying as well. Hair is weak when it is wet, so if you simply rub it with a towel to dry it, the only thing you will achieve is to "break" your strands. It is better to gently blot your hair with the towel and guide it in its natural direction. If you have longer hair and prefer blow-drying with a hair dryer, it is a good idea to use a special heat protection product on the lengths and ends. 

Also, do not comb your hair when it is still wet. It may seem easier, but in reality it can lead to more damage. The right comb or hair brush is important to avoid hair breakage and frizz. 

# Take Care of the Right Styling

When it comes to styling products, what most people want is something that offers natural movement as well as strong hold at the same time. Depending on the style you want to achieve, you will choose the right product. If you like a polished style, using hair gel or pomade on wet hair will help it look fresh and well-groomed all day long.

Hair gel is generally lighter and spreads more easily through the hair. Choose one that does not contain alcohol, as alcohol dries out the hair. Pomades and styling creams are ideal for curly or more unruly hair, since they are thicker, but they are also harder to wash out. 

In any case, however, you should make sure it has antioxidant properties so it can repel moisture, while providing long-lasting styling without residue. You should also read the instructions for use carefully. 

If you found the above tips useful, make sure to apply them in your daily routine, while also building a trustworthy relationship with your hairdresser. A light trim or haircut every six to eight weeks, along with diligent care using the right products, will ensure you have healthy and strong hair.
